I have a pair of sketchers sneakers and they're comfy :oblivious:
Wear minimalist sandals or go barefoot if you can. Why sweat in socks and worry about getting your shoes dirty, when your feet can temperature regulate in the air, you can wash them off when you get home, and your skin naturally repairs itself from microscopic abrasion unlike shoes? You will build up your foot muscles and protect your joints long term by learning how to properly walk. It's cheaper and it feels better.
I was talking to my spouse about how weird it is that we all wear shoes even when the terrain doesn't call for it. If I'm going for a hike then yeah, I'm going to grab some boots. If I'm walking downtown then I'm going to make sure I have something on my feet to protect from broken glass. But like, a stroll around my neighborhood? A day in the park? It seems like it's just something we've become so accustomed to that we never question it.
And I stand by the opinion that my feet have much better grip than any water shoes out there.
Bare feet are a big vector for parasites and disease.
It’s actually more of a health thing.

One time when I was a kid, someone gifted me a pair of "water shoes" that I took to the beach one time and then threw away. Turns out they had slick plastic on the bottom, like literally any dampness on a rock was like stepping on a banana peel, I almost seriously injured myself. ridiculous

I just like my outfits not looking like garbage and some of my taste overlaps with whats cool right now. I thought dunks were cool before I knew they were expensive.
